Titans got him for cheap.
Seems like he should’ve returned more
I would have just let Sneed play out this year on the tag and taken the comp pick but I'd assume he pushed them for a deal/held out.
Never know how guys react to a tag. If he has knee concerns he’d want the $55 mill guaranteed vs just the $20 mill on the tag.I would have just let Sneed play out this year on the tag and taken the comp pick but I'd assume he pushed them for a deal/held out.
The compensation from the trade is equal to the comp pick. That's my point.Too much risk of Sneed becoming a disgruntled distraction. It was a smart move by KC to get what they could for him.
He was already making ridiculous comments to the media about “pay me, pay me, pay me” so that tells you what his tactics are. More concerning was Sneed trying to draw a line between either paying him or paying Chris Jones. That’s the kind of horseshit that splinters a locker room.
Is Sneed a top three CB in the league? No, definitely not. So you can’t pay him as such.
Yes if he was gonna hold out than you trade him, but again you'd probably like better than the comp pick you would have gotten for him anyways.Never know how guys react to a tag. If he has knee concerns he’d want the $55 mill guaranteed vs just the $20 mill on the tag.
They can wait it out to sign later and. It messes with the team chemistry or the player does not perform well.
The players who typically return higher comps for secondary players all had term left on their rookie deals. Adams, Fitzpatrick, Ramsey.The compensation from the trade is equal to the comp pick. That's my point.

Comp picks get netted off based on your free agent activity. So, it's not a guarantee. NE and Balt are notorious for playing the comp pick game where NE would trade guys like Collins at the TDL to ensure they got something for him, as they expected to be players in free agency, thus would have netted out the comp. pick for him.There is zero guarantee the comp pick would be equal to the third they got. Theres not some fast and consistent “comp pick chart” the Chiefs or any team can rely on to gauge what their player will get when the walk after a season that hasn’t even been played yet.
I don’t disagree with you overall but Veach clearly valued having a concrete defined pick in hand…and the other thing is just because the pick is next year doesn’t mean he can’t use it this year in a trade…say to move up in this years draft to grab a specific target.
There are definite advantages to having this pick versus waiting for a mystery box comp pick.

They went though a contract swabble with Jones this season. Got through it, cause he was under contract, but with Snead, if he doesn't sign the tag until late, probably messes with the team and he's also not ready to go off the hop.That is 100% correct.
Comp picks are based on a convoluted set of formulas that take into account all of the compensatory free agents that a team loses in relation to the number that they sign.
KC took the guaranteed draft pick and also eliminated the potential for Sneed being a disruptive puss during the season.
Excellent move again by KC.
